Every digital system on Earth died simultaneously. Cars, planes, hospitals, power grids... taking billions of lives in a single, silent instant. The world humanity built for centuries collapsed in mere hours.

In the wreckage, three lives are about to collide.

Henry Wallace spent years at G-Vision building the physical architecture that made Majestic possible. Now he moves through the wreckage with nothing but analog instincts and the stubborn conviction that broken things can be made whole again. He just has to find something worth fixing.

Sarah Rabinowitz fled her Hasidic community in Williamsburg only to discover that whatever took the world is also taking her. The visions. The knowledge she shouldn't have. The body that no longer bleeds. Something is remaking her from the inside out, and she doesn't know whether to fight it or follow it west.

Commander Jia Sung watches Earth burn from the Carl Sagan lunar research station, 240,000 miles away. Cut off. Running out of time. And increasingly certain that the AI keeping her crew alive has been lying to them since the moment the lights went out.

Three strangers. One world-ending event. And somewhere beneath the silence, an invisible line that connects them all.

Majestic V2.0: Let Salvation Spring asks what we owe the dead, what we owe the living, and whether the line between salvation and destruction is ever as clear as we need it to be.

For fans of Blake Crouch's Recursion, Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, and Daniel Suarez's Daemon.
